Ronnie Leroy Horn (May 24, 1938 – October 5, 2002)[1] was an American professional basketball player who played in the NBA and ABA. Ron was drafted with the seventh pick in the second round of the 1961 NBA draft by the St. Louis Hawks. After playing one season with the Hawks, Ron played with the Los Angeles Lakers for a season. He played with the Trenton Colonials in the Eastern Professional Basketball League (EPBL) during the 1963–64 season.[2] Horn also played in 1967–68 for the Denver Rockets of the ABA.[3] He played three games for the Binghamton Flyers / Trenton Pat Pavers in the Eastern Basketball Association during the 1970–71 season.[2]

Horn played college basketball for Indiana University, spending one season (1958–59) on the varsity squad with future NBA star Walt Bellamy and collegiate coach Bob Reinhart. Following his sophomore season, Horn entered the U.S. Military and spent two years (1959–60, 1960–61) playing AAU Men's Basketball on the U.S. Armed Forces team.[4]

Horn played scholastically for the Mississinewa High School Indians; leading them to an IHSAA Sectional and Regional titles in 1954.[5] To date, the 1953–54 season remains the deepest IHSAA-tournament run for the Indians.[6]
